Company profile
researched Sep 2026mtion (also referred to as mtion interactive) develops a platform for interactive 3D video game live streaming, positioning itself as a bridge between virtual and real spaces for creators and their communities. Its technology connects video game live streamers to their fans through interactive 3D experiences delivered in VR and on the web: streamers receive their own virtual production stage to broadcast from, and viewers can interact within that space.
The company is developing what has been described as a metaverse for gamers, in which users stream, share and connect in 3D environments they customize themselves, converging gaming and social media. Its stated ambition is to transform one billion online communities into immersive social worlds.
Alongside the consumer product, mtion publishes the Mtion SDK, a Unity package for creating new content for Mtion Studio. The SDK lets developers build, create and publish customized clubhouses, assets and experiences, and is distributed via a Git URL, downloadable .tgz release packages, and OpenUPM under the package identifier com.mtion.sdk. It is released under an MIT license.
Founding story
mtion was co-founded by Jeremy Hartmann, who is identified as founder and CEO.
Business model
mtion provides a consumer platform and creation tools for live streamers and their audiences, distributing a free Unity-based SDK that lets third parties build and publish clubhouses, assets and experiences for Mtion Studio, thereby extending the platform's content library through outside creators.

Market position
mtion has been characterized as "Twitch for interactive 3D videogame streaming" and is grouped among Kitchener-based software startups working in gaming.
mtion combines live streaming with user-customizable 3D environments, giving each streamer a virtual production stage that fans can enter and interact with in VR or through the web, rather than a conventional flat video feed; an open, MIT-licensed Unity SDK allows outside creators to extend the platform with their own clubhouses, assets and experiences.
Technology
The platform delivers interactive 3D experiences to fans in VR and on the web and gives streamers a virtual production stage. Content creation runs on Unity: the Mtion SDK is distributed as a Unity package (com.mtion.sdk) installable from a Git URL, a tarball release or OpenUPM, with Unity 6000.3.9f1 suggested and 2021.3.25f1 the minimum tested version, and requires Git. The company promotes virtual world creation without coding expertise.
Go-to-market
